Romney, Ryan adhere to beliefs not based in Christianity

If the majority of the American people decide in the November election that they want America to be governed by the radical "Teapublicans" and the philosophy of Ayn Rand, that is Objectivism, instead of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then that is what we will have. All I ask is that before you decide to embrace this philosophy that you at least take the time to obtain a basic understanding of its tenets.

I recommend a book from the "Ayn Rand Library," titled "Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand," by Leonard Peikoff. This book is an "authorized (by Ayn Rand) presentation of the entire theoretical structure of objectivism - that is, the only one that I (Ayn Rand) know of my own knowledge to be fully accurate."

Paul Ryan and John Boehner are devoted followers of objectivism as espoused by Ayn Rand. Paul Ryan claims to be a devout Catholic. The following is a quote from Mr. Peikoff's book, "Objectivism advocates reason as man's only means of knowledge, and therefore, it does not accept God or any variant of the supernatural."

Mr. Romney claims as a Mormon to have no vices. In the absence of information to the contrary we must accept this assertion. Abraham Lincoln said "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." Mr. Lincoln's statement was obviously made tongue-in-cheek since, "There is no one who is righteous, not even one." (Romans 3:10).

Almost all of the Mormons I have known have been honorable, hard-working, intelligent people, however I cannot consider their faith to be Christian.

The Christian faith is founded on the principle that the Bible and, more specifically, the New Testament, is fully sufficient to convey the liberal philosophy of Jesus Christ.

We have a Christian president who is devoted to his family and his country and is committed to being president for all the people, not just the rich, the straight, the privileged and the selfish.
